Output Board, Source Type, LAN

This board makes it possible to connect original annunciators (e.g. light bulbs) to the flight simulator via LAN. Plug and play with JeeHell, ProSim (A320 and 737) and X-Plane. The special feature of the circuit board is that 210 mA is guaranteed for each of the 64 outputs. Even at full load (all outputs active), the voltage hardly drops, so that a light test is also possible. Comparable products advertise 500 mA per output. However, the outdated chips never manage to drive even 210 mA without a significant voltage drop. The result is often that the lamps barely light up when all outputs are active. This circuit board was specially developed for controlling original 210 mA annunciators and uses modern chips as drivers.

The board has 64 source-type outputs. Connect the supply voltage (e.g. 5 V or 28 V) to the VCC connection on the circuit board (max. 50 V). One pin of the light bulb is connected to the circuit board. The second connection is connected to ground. The circuit board switches against the supply voltage. The drivers have protective diodes so that inductive loads can also be switched.

Up to 210 mA per output (14 A total load)

An external 5 volt power supply is required.

This circuit board was specially developed for controlling original 220 mA annunciators and uses modern chips as drivers.

The board has 64 sink-type outputs. Connect the supply voltage (e.g. 5 V or 28 V) to a pin on the light bulb. The second pin of the lamp is connected to the circuit board. The circuit board switches the current to ground. The drivers have protective diodes so that inductive loads can also be switched. For inductive loads, connect the COM pin to the positive power supply (max. 50 V).

Up to 220 mA per output (14 A total load)

An external 5 volt power supply is required.
